Our aim is to provide a high level of personal service, prompt communication and excellent organisational skills based on technical expertise and many years’ experience.
“We have a particular expertise in managing and administering quoted companies and consequently the ability to provide a listing capability will serve to further enhance our overall proposition for existing and new clients. We deliver accounting, shareholder, secretarial, corporate governance, compliance and valuation services to both open ended and closed ended vehicles, and our professional team continually add value to the businesses we are asked to administer and adopt a ‘head above the parapet’ approach.”
Carolyn Gelling, Head of the Isle of Man Office of TISEG, added: “I’m very pleased that FIM Capital has become a Listing Member of TISE. There has been significant interest from a number of different companies in the island who want to work with us and it is great to have added FIM Capital to our network of members and associated advisers and administrators in the Isle of Man who will facilitate business with TISE.”
